Before every AFL season, fans and supporters dive into their crystal balls and see what the future holds for their club.

A part of that prediction is singling out which player will rise above the expectation set upon them during the summer months.

Whether it be a new signing, draftee or someone just set to make waves, we've picked one player from each club to keep an eye on in season 2025.

St Kilda

Max King

At full flight, there are not many defenders that can go with Max King, but unfortunately, the past two seasons have seen injury after injury, resulting in 23 games.

The Saints have given King extra time to prepare himself for the 2025 season, and he has returned in ripping nick, noticeably putting size on that is required for a key forward.

In 2022, he kicked 52 goals from 22 games but missed a lot of opportunities.

King is more than capable of slotting 60 goals and becoming one of the premier talls in the competition.
